Brake Drum not fitting back on ( Despite adjusting screw )
Posted: Fri Aug 28, 2015 3:12 pm
Just replaced my rear wheel cylinder with a a TVS-girling from India. ( Only part I could find reasonably price-shipped to the US )
Replaced the shoes with new ones designed for a 86' Samurai. ( Only ones I could find so far, & seem to be the exact same size as my old shoes. Not 100% on the actual pad thickness though )
Still, the drum is a long ways off from fitting back on.
Drum doesn't have a lip. Self adjusting screw is set to maximum closed.
Thinking about getting the whole drum reamed out if I can't get this thing back on. Seems like if I have to do this again, a reamed drum will help fit my misfit parts.
Just don't understand why I having so much trouble in the first place.
